People talking

Chatting

Listening

Observing

Groups of visitors on vacation

Students on their way to class

People coming and going

The same path everyday

Except this day. This morning a group of young people were headed to a rally. It was their turn at the gathering to show their feelings in protest. The others going up the stairs behind them had their say, and now it was this group’s turn. No longer were they satisfied to lead their privileged lives without notice of the conditions around them. No longer strolling by the disadvantaged street people, it was time to act.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 84

Because of the coffee curfews last night, he got a chance to sleep in. However, all was not well. Because he had overindulged on birthday ice cream, cake, wine, and champagne, karma’s quest for comeuppance struck again.

As he wandered into his dining room, he tripped over the leftover mess from the night before. “Party hearty” creeped into his foggy head and they all did, with gusto. His bedroom escaped the worst, but here on the couch his best friend lay snoring. Across from him in the recliner with his hands still on a video game console, was his brother, passed out cold. The huge screen on the wall was blinking brightly.

He bypassed the kitchen area altogether, as his stomach started to complain. He stumbled into the bathroom and then back to bed. Karma was upon him, but it could wait.

August Writing Prompts

Cuddly cats

Cloudy gray fur

Claws of destruction

Constant rub on your legs

Catnip snacks

Climbing your chairs

Chasing dustballs

Caterwauling by the door

Crouching curiosity

Cantankerous cuties

++++

August Writing Prompts

Complete mystery

How seeds reach above the ground

To show their beauty

Pondering on this question

A query, Mother Nature.

Love

Overly romantic we hope

Very faithful and true of course

Ever vigilant to each other’s needs.

Standing out from the ordinary

Bright red against the brown

Secretly seductive in her manner

It was her intention

The red coat, the red cone

The red flare of her garment

All perfectly planned

Coordinated

With his expected presence

She wanted to be noticed by him

She longed to meet him

A long glance didn’t do it

But this will.

His favorite color is red.

One by one the students at Private Elementary started to have damp foreheads and dizziness. Some even kneeled down on the floor in order not to fall. Even the afternoon breeze coming in the window seemed hotter than usual. The calescent temperature was rapidly causing more students to feel faint.

Mrs. Beecham hurriedly closed the old large windows, afraid whatever infection was afoot might contaminate another classroom. She rang for the school’s resident nurse as more children experienced alarming discomfort.

Sheets of sweat ran down Mrs. Beecham’s bodice as she started to panic, wondering what type of disease was encompassing her classroom. The room was stifling, but she was determined not to release any children till the nurse could complete their examinations. The paroxysm “Oh my God” burst from her mouth as her prize student, Melissa, suddenly rose from her seat and fell to the floor. Melissa was one of the most privileged girls and her fashionable many layered clothing caused her to overheat more than the others.

Sitting in his room, an absent student of Mrs. Beecham’s class sat reading with a satisfied grin. Earlier he had sneaked out of his confinement for bad behavior and climbed out his window. The window ledge and then to the basement window. When inside, he adjusted the heat sensor in the furnace, only for Mrs. Beecham’s classroom.

George was being punished for inappropriate behavior. He was jealous of Melissa’s attention, approached her with too much familiarity, to Mrs. Beecham’s chagrin. He was summarily reprimanded and told to stay in his room the rest of the day.

George settled back, only sad he could not see the results of his deeds.
